¡Forward, Russia! were an English alternative band from Leeds, active from between the early 2004 to 2008. The band's debut album, Give Me a Wall, was released in 2006. Until 2006, the band only named tracks with numbers, in the order that they were written. The band had used Faux Cyrillic, with its name occasionally typeset as ¡FФЯWДЯD, RUSSIД!. The band went on hiatus after the release of their second album, Life Processes, in 2008, and have not since reformed.
The band's music has been described as "art rock", "contemporary agit-punk", and "high-octane dance-punk". When Give Me a Wall was released, the band received comparisons with Bloc Party, while the NME described them as sounding "like a peculiarly English take on emo".[19][21] The band's second album was described by Pitchfork Media as "a curious mélange of studied dance-punk and flailing hardcore".
Jon Pareles, reviewing a live performance from 2006 in The New York Times stated "[their] songs aren't content with verse and chorus; they're packed with incident, and they're propelled by the indefatigable drumming of Katie Nicholls. Instruments unite for muscular, danceable funk, then splay apart like a fist suddenly opening."
Woodhead's vocals were described as "post hardcore operatic screeching".
